Matter of Jesus M

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Nov 5, 1998
255 A.D.2d 124 (N.Y. App. Div. 1998)

Opinion

November 5, 1998

Appeal from the Family Court, Bronx County (Cira Martinez, J.).


The fact-finding determination was based on legally sufficient evidence and was not against the weight of the evidence ( People v. Acosta, 80 N.Y.2d 665; People v. Bleakley, 69 N.Y.2d 490). There was ample evidence from which the court could have inferred that appellant knowingly and unlawfully introduced marihuana into a detention center, and we do not find any plausible innocent explanation for the presence of marihuana in appellant's clothing.

Concur — Sullivan, J. P., Rosenberger, Wallach, Mazzarelli and Andrias, JJ.
